Description | This item specifically recognises 43kDa Connexin43, when phosphorylated at Ser368. Connexin43 (CX43) allows for the exchange of solutions between neighbouring cells through the formation of gap-junctional channels and is expressed in the brain, kidneys and myocardium, as well as vascular endothelial cells. Studies suggest that a decrease in the permeability of gap-junctional channels occurs due to a conformational change in the structure of CX43, and that this is mediated by the phosphorylation of CX43 at residue Ser368, by Protein Kinase C (PKC). A possible link between CX43 and epilepsy has been investigated following the detection of high levels of CX43 in both low-grade tumours and peritumoural reactive astrocytes, see Aronica, E. et al |
Immunogen | Immunogen: Synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to an amino acid sequence within connexin43 which includes phosphorylated Ser368 Buffer Solution: 10mM HEPES pH7.5 Antiserum Preparation: Antisera to rat connexin43 were raised by repeated immunisations of rabbits with highly purified antigen. Purified IgG was prepared by affinity chromatography. Target Species: Rat |
